Yeah, no question.

I think Dave's a natural tbh. Not the best but he is definitely at one with kit ...... :cool:

Jimmy Chamberlain is probably technically the best drummer I've seen live, but as far as pure bruit force goes, Shannon Larkin, (ex of Amen) probably wins. When I saw them play Reading his kit had to practically be put back together from scratch after every song he was hittin the thing so hard

mebbe not the best, but i have to admit, travis barker is one kick ass drumádoir

loismustdie

apparent;y the drumming in the whole lataralus album is done to some math sequence, now that's talent!

mike65

Keith Moon!

Mike.

Töpher

Stages in my life I'd've said Jimmy Chamberlain, Martin Lopez or Danny Carey, all of whom I still love, but my ears have been opened to the works of Sean Reinert. What a GOD!

Yup, the Fibonacci Series. where a number is the sum of the previous two :
0 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34


I nominate Danny Carey just for that, its fairly amazing if it's true...

Fozzy

Has to be Danny Carey for me, pure class.

Best drummer I've ever seen live has to be Myles Drennan though. Jazz drummer who I saw with Louis Stewart. Very impressed.

MarkMI6

For use of a standard kit then it's Matt Cameron of Soundgarden/Pearl Jam/others fame, he's got all four limbs working on different time signatures and different beats. Once he gets up to speed it's amazing to hear and oh-so satisfying when you hear a sudden beat of toms jump in and slide back into oblivion.

If you're going for people with their own agenda with regards drum kits then Jimmy Chamberlain and Danny Carey are the men. Chamberlain is too freakin' fast to comprehend and Carey is as incrediible as his drum setup.

Pugsley

Mike Portnoy, no real competition IMO
Guy from Dark Tranquility is another excellent drummer, albiet I forget his name.

NightStrike

Slayer guy and Dreamtheater guy (forget their names ) are pretty cool.

Also the Def Leppard drummer deserves respect for drumming with one arm

Inf

Taylor Hawkins is pretty damn good aswell.

Danny Carey beats all though (well aprt from them unreal jazz drummers that no1 has ever realy heard about :>)
The drummer from machine head is also unreal with his feet.

goo

I won't even try comment on "best", but Jason Reece (of Trail of Dead) is definitely one of my favourites, he's very clever.

Doctor J

Rock music only, I'd say

Old School : Ginger Baker

Modern Day : Sean Reinert

and a big shout out to Keith Moon for being the link between the two

cournioni

Pete Sandoval. Just listen to Opening of the Gates. Absolutely amazing.

BonmahonHammers

Tico Torres

wiped

Keith Moon is my favourite ........

but honourable mentions to ...
Simon Philips
Neil Peart

rahim

John Bonham.

At last! Someone with a bit of sense

I'd say John Bonham, Mike Portnoy, Neil Peart, Dave Abbruzzesse are all up there.

Just cos a guy beats the shít out of his kit doesn't mean he's a God!

Kingp35

Im sorry people but absolutely nobody compares to BUDDY HOLLY. Was and probably always will be be the greatest drummer of all time!!

Out of todays drummers probably Dave Grohl but he doesnt even compare to BUDDY HOLLY.

THREAD CLOSED

Wasn't he in At The Gates too? Or did the original Haunted drummer (from ATG) leave? If it's him, yes he's deadly! Straightforward, but very effective!

Some damn good drummers up there but you can't leave out the mighty Pete Sandoval tbh.

Nah, the At the Gates drummer was Adrian Erlandsson. But take nothing away from Per Moller Jensen, he's savage!

Bruce Campbell

definitely has to be the girl from the white stripes, she kicks ass!!!!!
..................... LMAO sorry, i needed a laugh!

but seriously, i don't think there's such a thing as the best drummer, coz there's too many genres and its all a matter of opinion aswell!

Caesium

John Bonham definitely. at least there are a few others with some taste out there.

Nick_oliveri

John Bonham (Zeppelin)
Drummer from the Jimi Hendrix Experience
Nick Mason (Pink Floyd)
Dave Grohl
Tre Cool (Green Day)

nadir

ill go for John Bonham.
but needless to say these threads are stupid, and no disrespect to the origional poster, just like bleh.

Karl Hungus

Either Jan Axl Von Blomberg, or Martin Lopez.

I think for sheer technical ability, and range of styles it has to be Von Blomberg, and he's hardly a slack at knocking out a decent beat. His work with Arcturus is probably his best, it's just staggering, and in some parts very experimental. Astounding to hear!

Martin Lopez for technical ability, range of styles, but mostly just being a joy to listen to. Despite Von Blomberg being a masterfull Jazz drummer, I think Lopez does the whole Jazzy/Chilled thing better.

projectmayhem

people wont like this response but, joey jordison

lofto

theirs alot of dodgy drummers listed..........who ever said tico tores and chad smith- u dont have a clue
id say ginger baker from cream.....
Mitch mitchell (irish) who played with jimi hendrix or everyones favourite keith moon (the who). john bonham- led zepplin ( played with his fists in london show)
oh and mick fleetwood was'nt bad......

Kingp35

Your all fools, I havn't seen a single mention to Buddy Rich or Gene Krupa.

Very good drummers alright.

Most people who name these off only name them because they've heard of them, but never actually listened. Unless you're a drummer, most people would be quite bored listening to these two.

Prince is actually a great drummer.

As is the case with these threads though - it should be titled "Name your favourite drummer"

Explosive_Cornflake

Adrian Erlandsson was on the first The Haunted Album, and i believe he left and joined cradel of ****(filth).
Brillant that the original haunted singer is back.

Favourite? Phil Rudd. No messin.

My favourites would be Dave Abbruzzesse or Ronnie Tutt.

These are stupid threads though, to call someone a fool based on their opinion is.... well..... foolish.

cournioni

But Dr. Loon. Most influence = The Best. If they are you're favourite then they have an influence on you. Therefore they are the best.

Dr. Loon

I know, but if we were to actually try and find "The best drummer in the world" it wouldn't be Dave Abbruzzesse, nor Phil Rudd. It's so subjective, but when anybody replies to these threads it's basically their favourite.

Someone in the best singer/entertainer thread replied with Cat Stevens??!!! I mean come on!!

Sauron

Another drummer thread eh?

Jimmy Chamberlain for me
others: Mitch Mitchell, John Bonham, Terry Bozzio.......more probably....
Chad Smith is a great live drummer and he knows how to put on a show despite what others may say...

Christ you're a twat!
Has the concept of "Opinion" not entered your mind?

Honestly... You're asking this on a Rock/Metal board, it should be obvious to you that not that many people are going to name-drop the likes of Buddy Rich.

Baggio

Well..it's easy isn't it?!!..Neil Peart,,,co contest

If anyone in this country actually listened to or even more important saw Neil Peart ,,,well they'd never think of other drummers in comparison to him in quite the same way

honourable mentions for:
Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa, Simon Phillips, Barrymore Barlow,
John Bonham, Keith Moon, Steve Ghadd, Steve Smith, Marvin Smithy Smith, Mike Poutney........
..and the rest?,,,well they can wait in the shadows

ciao' amigo's....Baggio...............

Sean Reinert kick Neil Peart's ass so hard he's got blisters on his feet.
